Seperating important & stick threads from the rest

[Ninth Dimension]

Hi all, i think the subject pritty much explains what i'm after, but i'll go into some detail.

How would I go about setting up the thread display to seperate the Important and Sticky from the rest of the thread listing?

I'm talking about some physical divide on the page so that people can tell the diffrence between announcements and things that need to be noted (like rules for a specific forum).

if no one can help then i'll look into doing it myself.

thanx
